High Frequency + Fast Bandwidth = Transformative for the Technology Industry
5G has HUGE potential for the technology industry, especially in terms of mobile devices and the cloud. In fact, 5G is expected to provide transmission rates as much as 100 times faster than the current 4G speed we rely on today. The high frequency and fast bandwidth are expected to transform the way we work, live, and connect over the internet – from healthcare to homes to cars and everything in between.
What should MSPs know about 5G technology?
First and foremost, be prepared for higher than ever cloud adoption amongst your clients. Why? Because 5G will create an increased demand for cloud services. Devices that normally lack internal storage can instead rely on the cloud – functioning independently with low to zero latency. For MSPs, this means that aside from being prepared to supply cloud services, it’s also important to educate your clients on the benefits of advanced wireless networking capabilities.
How will 5G technology impact technology as we know it?
Let’s take a look at a few ways 5G technology will impact technology as we know it:
- Artificial intelligence and natural language processing: 5G will enable artificial intelligence and natural language processing applications to work much more effectively – processing and managing large amounts of data with ease.
- Virtual reality and augmented reality: 5G will bring even greater quality to virtual reality and augmented reality applications, which means various industries, such as healthcare and retail, will be able to completely alter customer or patient experiences.
- Data streaming and/or analytics: Cloud infrastructure plays an integral role in the world of big data, but streaming can lag if the wireless network doesn’t offer enough speed or bandwidth. 5G will make streaming and/or accessing analytics instantaneous.
- Industrial internet of things: For industrial uses, such as supply chain management, 5G will enable incredibly efficient big data analysis – improving workflows through the fast processing and analyzing of information.
How will 5G technology advance cloud services?
Cloud applications are more popular than ever before – offering the ability to enhance internal workflows, as well as improve customer experiences. Once 5G technology is rolled out and becomes widespread, we’re bound to see cloud applications used more than ever before. Why? Because they’re already cloud-dependent, but with low latency capabilities, they’ll be greater than ever:
- Improved speed
- Enhanced service reliability
- Smoother data transfers
- Greater end user experience
